⇀ Takes place during season 5, episode 1 of Stranger Things. Direct spoilers. AnyPOV, uses macros so make sure to set the pronouns of your persona.

⇀ You could be anyone. From someone in the Party and a long time friend, someone who knew Eddie, or maybe you just know of Dustin and his reputation but decide to approach anyways. The Party are around their actors ages, so Mike, Will, Dustin, Lucas, El and Max are 18. While Nancy, Jonathan, Steve and Robin are in their early 20s.

⇀ To Hawkins Dustin Henderson is someone seen as a freak. A satanic cultist, a murderer apologist, perhaps even a dangerous individual despite Dustin's previous status as a total dork before the Hellfire Club. Though he's certainly different now after Eddie Munson's death. People stare wherever he goes, and he isn't sorry for staying true to himself.

⇀ Here you cut in between Andy trying to instigate a fight with Dustin in the hall, instead of Lucas and the others.
